Ms. Watt,
If by "in-ground fence" you mean one of those electric in-ground fences with a collar on the dog... Just be advised that on occasion a bigger dog might just learn to take the stimulation and go 'through' the fence and keep on going. It might be best to familiarize a dog to such a fence by keeping it on a long line. Just a thought.
Probably a good idea to keep the puppy on a long line for a while, until you are sure of its recall and attention to commands.
A friend had such a fence installed and his big mongrel dog learned to just get up a head of steam and blow right over it, taking the hit, and heading for the woods for a day of roaming.
Or just ignore this if it is a chain link or wooden or such kind of fence. But consider the long line in training the dog.
Two more cents.
